I know what you’re thinking: “peanut butter and chia- wha?! Where’s the jam?!” and to that I say, it’s time for peanut butter to explore some other, healthier relationships. This recipe pairs peanut butter with super healthy fibre and protein-packed chia seeds. It’s an unusual paring (kind of like when one of your friends who eats McDonald’s every day starts dating someone else who’s all about the green juice) but I think it works great. As in, I could not. stop. eating these.

These bite-sized lovelies make the perfect grab-and-go snack, sweet and salty breakfast, or dainty dessert. Or you can just be a boss and eat the entire batch in one sitting. I’m not saying you should necessarily do that (moderation is key to healthy eating!), BUT I am saying you might want to, and hey, if you decide to just go full dessert fiend with a recipe, it might as well be a healthy, delicious little number like this one!
